From the No. 1 bestselling author WAR LORD comes an epic retelling of the Arthurian legend, from the popular Last Kingdom series. In the Dark Ages, a legendary warrior emerges to unite a divided nation... Uther, the High King of Britain, is dead. His only heir is the infant Mordred. However, the lesser kings of the land are eager to claim the crown for themselves. As they quarrel and prepare for war, a gathering of Saxon armies is assembling, readying for invasion. But none have reckoned with the fearsome warlord Arthur. Mentored by Merlin and beset by a doomed romance with the beautiful Guinevere, Arthur knows he will struggle to unite the country – let alone hold back the Saxon enemy at the gates. Yet destiny awaits him... Combining myth, history, and thrilling battle, fans of Game of Thrones, The Last Kingdom, Conn Iggulden, and Merlin will be captivated by this gripping epic story.
